Who will win at the Slammy Awards? Which categories and nominees will be presented this year? WWE is slowly rolling out the categories and nominees, so this post will be updated frequently with new information.
P.S. Don't forget about the 2015 Smark Out Moment Awards going on throughout this month. Start compiling your lists and thinking about what you're going to vote for on the Smack Talk section!
Superstar of the Year
NOMINEES: everybody on the roster
PREDICTION: Roman Reigns
RESULT: Seth Rollins
REVIEW: Deservedly so.
Match of the Year
NOMINEES:
Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena vs. Seth Rollins (Royal Rumble)
Sting vs. Triple H (WrestleMania 31)
John Cena vs. Kevin Owens (Elimination Chamber)
Roman Reigns vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Kevin Owens (Raw October 26th)
Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker (Hell in a Cell)
PREDICTION: I would vote for Cena v Owens, but having been to the Royal Rumble and enjoying the hell out of that match, I think that could possibly win.
RESULT: Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar
REVIEW: I'd definitely disagree, but I'm not shocked the fans voted for this. I'd assume they did so because of the names involved rather than necessarily the match quality.
Diva of the Year
NOMINEES:
Charlotte
Nikki Bella
Naomi
Paige
Sasha Banks
PREDICTION: Nikki Bella or Paige, without a doubt. Bella deserves it more, but Paige might have more fans that vote for her, especially since Nikki's been out of the spotlight for the past two months.
RESULT: Paige—wait, R-Truth made a mistake (a la Steve Harvey); the real winner is Nikki Bella
REVIEW: LOL I'm so glad they referenced the screw-up from the Miss Universe pageant.
Breakout Star of the Year
NOMINEES:
Braun Strowman
Charlotte
Kevin Owens
Neville
Tyler Breeze
PREDICTION: Kevin Owens
RESULT: Neville
REVIEW: I enjoyed Neville, but he shouldn't have won over Owens. I think he gets the edge for the babyface vote since some people don't want to root for the heels.
LOL Moment of the Year
NOMINEES:
Edge and Christian bring back the kazoo on Raw (September 7th)
The Bushwhackers' WWE Hall of Fame induction speech
The Miz and Damien Mizdow's erectile dysfunction commercial on Raw (March 2nd)
The New Day get Stephanie McMahon and Triple H to dance on Raw (September 14th)
R-Truth mistakes himself for being in the Money in the Bank ladder match on Raw (June 8th)
PREDICTION: I really hope this goes to R-Truth. That legitimately made me crack up.
RESULT: R-Truth
REVIEW: Awesome. This was one of the few comedic moments of the year that I liked and I'm happy to see it win.
Extreme Moment of the Year
NOMINEES:
Brock Lesnar and Undertaker brawl through the arena on Raw (July 20th)
Luke Harper powerbombs Dean Ambrose through a ladder at WrestleMania 31
Seth Rollins breaks John Cena's nose on Raw (July 27th)
Roman Reigns attacks The League of Nations and Triple H at TLC
Neville dives off a ladder onto several superstars on SmackDown (June 11th)
PREDICTION: Roman Reigns
RESULT: Roman Reigns levels The League of Nations and Triple H at WWE TLC
REVIEW: Yup.
"This is Awesome" Moment of the Year
NOMINEES:
Brock Lesnar destroys J&J Security's car on Raw (July 6th)
Randy Orton counters Seth Rollins' curb stomp into an RKO at WrestleMania 31
The Divas Revolution begins on Raw (July 13th)
The Shield briefly reunite to triple powerbomb Randy Orton through the announce table at Payback
The Rock and Ronda Rousey attack Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania 31
PREDICTION: I'm leaning towards Ronda Rousey or The Shield reuniting. It depends on how Ronda's popularity weighs into this now that she's lost.
RESULT: Rock / Ronda Rousey
REVIEW: Shame neither of them could show up.
OMG Shocking Moment of the Year
NOMINEES:

Sheamus cashes in his Money in the Bank contract against Roman Reigns to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series.
PREDICTION: Rollins cashing in should take the cake in my mind
RESULT: Kalisto's Salida del Sol
REVIEW: Crazy move. I'm okay with this going to him for being able to pull that off.
The Hero in All of Us Award presented by Coca-Cola
NOMINEES: Big Show, John Cena, Natalya, Roman Reigns, Stephanie McMahon, Titus O'Neil
PREDICTION: John Cena

Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt
Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar
Team Bella vs. Team BAD vs. Team PCB
John Cena vs. Rusev
Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton
PREDICTION: Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar
RESULT: The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar
REVIEW: I totally disagree, but then again, the rest of the list isn't too impressive, either.
Double Cross of the Year
NOMINEES:
Jon Stewart attacks John Cena
Randy Orton turns on The Authority
Paige attacks Charlotte and Becky Lynch
Stardust betrays Goldust
Damien Mizdow eliminates The Miz at WrestleMania
PREDICTION: I could see this going to Mizdow since fans love him and he's already teased that if he gets a live mic, something might happen. If not him, then Jon Stewart gets it.
RESULT: Damien Mizdow eliminates The Miz from the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania
REVIEW: Shame they did this on the website instead of on the show itself. Sandow would have been fun to see.

The Dudley Boyz confront The New Day on Raw
Sting ambushes Triple H and Seth Rollins on Raw
Alberto Del Rio at Hell in a Cell

RESULT: Sting
REVIEW: Meh. I don't feel one way or another about this.
Best Original WWE Network Show
NOMINEES:
Breaking Ground
Stone Cold Podcast
WWE 24
Table for 3
Swerved

Tag Team of the Year
NOMINEES:
The New Day
The Usos
The Lucha Dragons
The Prime Time Players
Tyson Kidd and Cesaro
PREDICTION: The New Day
RESULT: The Usos
REVIEW: What??? The Usos spent too much time away this year while The New Day became a primary focal point of the whole company. Totally disagree.
Celebrity Moment of the Year
NOMINEES:
Stephen Amell dives onto Stardust at SummerSlam
The Entourage cast introduces Zack Ryder on Raw
Jon Stewart gets on Cena's bad side at SummerSlam
Kevin Owens powerbombs Machine Gun Kelly from the stage
Wayne Rooney slaps King Barrett on Raw
PREDICTION: Kevin Owens powerbombs Machine Gun Kelly from the stage
RESULT: Stephen Amell dives onto Stardust at SummerSlam
REVIEW: I loved the Machine Gun Kelly thing so much more, but I'm not too surprised that this ended up winning. He's probably the best in-ring celebrity we've had since Mr. T.

#AxelMania
#SuplexCity
#SaveTheTables
#RKOOuttaNowhere
PREDICTION: #GiveDivasAChance
